In case any non-British are reading this, ‘chav’ is a term used to describe a small subset of British working class people. It used to describe young people with “loutish (ill-mannered) behaviour, violence, and particular speech patterns (all of which are stereotypes)” (Wikipedia.)
It is not a term used to describe the general working class population of Britian.

As someone who’s proudly working class and who works in a supermarket in the middle of a chavvy town - thanks for this.
